The purpose of the software was to help in the networking of all branches of SSNIT.

He went on to say that for SSNIT to agree to pay $66 million for the software stimulated lots of questions. Information currently available indicates that the amount is $72 million, and not $66 million as widely publicized.

Maximus Ametorgoh added that SSNIT manages the accounts of about 990,000 contributors. To him, a local developer could have used less than $1million dollars to execute the task.

SSNIT’s board of trustees, led by Dr. Kwame Addo – Kufuor, has contacted the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) to conduct investigations into the matter.
